Cricket-A Boring Game?

I will be the first one to admit..
I have never understood why people watch cricket.. until today.

Before this, I've never actually given the game a chance.

I would often quickly switch to another tv channel whenever the cricket was on.

So why should it be any different now?
If I was to be really honest, there was nothing else on tv and I needed a tv-break from studying.

The English players are currently doing well in the Ashes series ( England vs Australia ) and some of them aren't actually that bad looking. :)

Today was the 3rd day of the 4th series test and it was (surprisingly!) an exciting game.
I have a lot of respect for the bowlers especially Flintoff and S Jones. I didn't realise bowling could be fun to watch especially when they try to get the "wickets" ( when they get the batsman out i.e a strike out in baseball's terms)

For those of you who were sceptical like I was before..have a go at watching the Ashes. It's more than about two people running up and down and more than a game of rounders.

For the girls...even if you don't quite get the game some of the guys are quite cute too.. :)
